Description

In the Middle Ages, Cornil was a small fortified place. There were at least two castles: one near the town and the other, of which only one tower near the church remains today, is also present. The two castles were besieged during the league time. On the hill, two square buildings, joined, stand, the largest having five floors. A turret adjoining the dungeon once housed the stairs. The whole whole is decorated with bin, with elongated consoles which are compartmentalized in three or four withdrawals.
